Rep. Albio Sires may be the overwhelming favorite to win Tuesday's primary in the Eighth Congressional District, but his opponent, Jersey City resident Michael J. Shurin, has at least one attention-grabbing campaign issue: The legalization of marijuana, The Jersey Journal reports.

Shurin, who says he left his job as a computer developer in September to focus on his Quixotic campaign, also wants to call off the War on Drugs.
